I sent my amendment to the clerk. I can ask her to send it to the committee members' P9 accounts if that would make it easier to follow along. In the meantime, I'll read it out to you. If you can't write fast enough, I'll go slow, and I can repeat anything you miss.
After the words “Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship”, I would like to add the words “as well as their departmental officials”. After the words “be invited to appear”, I would like to add the words “for two hours per minister, in separate meetings, no later than Thursday, November 24, 2022”. I would be replacing “November 17” with “November 24”.
On point two, in the second line, I want to replace “Thursday, November 17” with “Thursday, November 24”. As you can see, the official opposition is acting in good faith. In the last line, “November 18” would be replaced by “November 25”. We realize that we need to move forward, and that's what we're demonstrating with this amendment.
On point four, I want to replace “November 22” with “November 29”.
I would also delete point five entirely, to avoid limiting the clause‑by‑clause study of this vitally important bill.
That's my amendment. If anyone wants to debate it, I'm ready to answer my colleagues' questions.
